Dawson's Creek Season 4 Episode 1

Gretchen: Doug wakes me up every morning at 7 dustbustering the kitchen. It's like living with Felix Unger on crack.

Gretchen: How are you?
Dawson: Damp at the moment
Gretchen: And in the grander scheme of things?

Joey: Dawson uhh... I'm very sorry. I'm sorry for everything that happened last year and... for doing what I had to do. I... I know how difficult it was and probably still must be.
Dawson: (Sighs) It wasn't easy. Thinking about the two of you together every day, every night...
Joey: (Laughs nervously) Actually the only person who hasn't dared ask the big question.
Dawson: Well I'm the only person the answer could potentially kill.

Jen: Look she's doing the official wait for Dawson to come over thing.
Dawson: Mmm... it looks to me more like the official wait in vain for Dawson to come over thing.
Jen: (Sighs) One more joke like that, and I am really gonna know how hard this is for you.
Dawson: It's not hard.
Jen: (Disbelievingly) Come on.
Dawson: It's not. It's not easy, but it's not hard.
Jen: Well whatever it is, why don't you just go get it over with?
Dawson: I'll do it, but it's just a highly predictable moment. I'm gonna walk over there, Joey and I are gonna engage in some semi-casual conversation until the awkwardness overwhelms us both, and then we're just gonna part, each of us surprised at how surprisingly painless the whole encounter surprisingly was.
Jen: Well then surprise me, and go on over there.

Jen: Dawson, I hear they're playing Jaws.
Dawson: Good, haven't seen it yet.

Joey: You got me, Jen. We did it. All day, all night. Twenty-four seven. Were you aware that there are at least thirty-eight known differing sexual positions? And forty-two if you're flexible enough.

Pacey: Just one question, Potter. What did you think about the seventh time that you stalled?
Joey: That I'm never driving stick again.

Pacey: We don't have to go home. We survived for the past three months taking odd jobs. We can survive as long as we want, just as long as we're happy.
Joey: Pacey, if your're so serious about this, why bring it up now... two hours from home?
Pacey: Twelve hours from home. Well, I think we should probally drop anchor here, have a bite to eat, and then we can debate whether to scrap this whole mission home.
Joey: No, I don't belive you Pacey Witter. As truant as your natural instinct may be, you never really suggested that we skip our senior year at high school entirely?
Pacey: Just what would we be missing from the land of poorly scripted melodramas? Recycled plot lines, tiresome self-realizations. You throw in the occasional downward spiral of a dear friend, and maybe baby here and a death there and all you really got is a recipe for some soul-sucking, mind-numbing, ennui on wheel. And I for one could skip it.

Joey: I would like to offer it to you as a...
Dawson: Please don't say symbol.
Joey: As an emblematic artifact representing the foundation of... of a new friendship.

Joey: Pacey... I wanted to see Dawson tonight, not because for 4 months of my life he was my boyfriend, because for the better part of my life he was my friend. And as my friend, I hurt him deeply, and living with that fact has caused me no small amount of guilt over the past 3 months. So, yes, I have been preoccupied, and it has made my mind wonder, but... my heart? That's a fixed point. 3 months riding the open waters couldn't shake it, I'll be damned if I let your insecurities shake it. My heart never left this boat. It's never left you. As far as I can see it's not going to anytime soon.
